Challenge
A Beauty Insider login requirement was blocking service bookings and losing revenue, while a complex backend had little monitoring or defect prioritization.
Key issues included:
- Beauty Insider login required to book services, resulting in lost revenue
- 8+ interacting backend services with limited documentation
- No production log monitoring for critical flows
- High defect backlog with no prioritization model
- Historical data errors impacting analytics & reporting

Solution
We removed the booking friction and stood up enterprise-grade monitoring, auditing and triage practices.
The solution included:
- Removed Beauty Insider requirement for service bookings
- Proactive alerting for bookings & payment transactions (SRE)
- Enterprise-grade auditing solution adopted Sephora-wide
- Kanban-based Jira triage model with PJM-led prioritization
- Data quality checks across analytics & reporting pipelines
Results
Store satisfaction and production stability improved measurably.
- Store satisfaction score 59.4% → 70.2%
- Sustained defect count reduction
- Multi-service production stability
